Don Cherry
Words Can Not Explain

DonCherry_ModernArtStockHolm1977


 

« From an improvised concert Live Show at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, This tune reminds me a Sun Ra but the whole LP is based on his “Hear & Now” album released on Atlantic. Definitely the most accomplished work of Don Cherry. »

 

Mal Waldron & Lafayette Afro Rock Band
Bits & Things

MalWaldron_CandyGirl


 

« A beautiful deep jazz funk tune by one of my favorite pianist Mal Waldron with Franck Able on Fender Piano and Lafayette Hudson on Bass. This track comes from Candy Girl, his unreleased album with members of Lafayette Afro Rock Band. This LP was pressed in France on Calumet as a promo copy but was never properly commercially released. »

 

Louis Xavier (Synchro Rythmic Electric Language)
El Gason

Synchro_ElGason


 

« Another incredible tune by the mighty Synchro band that was pressed on Moshe Naïm but never commercially released. Composed by Louis Xavier this uncommon caribbean spiritual jazz is really an amazing gem with a baroque twist given by harpsichord. (Thanks to Louis Xavier and Paulo for hooking me up on this) »

 

Baligh Hamdi
Gada part.2

BalighHamdy


 

« Simply one of the most beautiful record by Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdy. This 7″ EP is an amazing piece of modern oriental music I choose the magical “Gada part2.” for this selection but the whole record is fantastic. »

 

Walid Gohlmieh
Doolab

WalidGohlmieh


 

« A record I was lucky to find a few years ago at the regretted Mike Vital Shop at les Puces de St Ouen (R.I.P) includes many groovy oriental/belly dances tracks but the best is really “Doolab” a monster oriental groove with amazing arrangement by this great lebanese composer. Who was also the director of “The Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music”. He was considered one of the most prominent Middle-Eastern conductors and composers tough his recordings are extremely hard to find. »
